Glimpse VS PhotoGIMP

Remember the fork of GIMP because people were offended by the name?

Argumentum ad absurdum.

> I mean, no professional uses Gimp for photo editing

Perhaps because the lack of CMYK, the limited architecture for plugin, or the outdated UI have more to do than the name?

If the name was the real bottleneck for adoption, you can be sure that you'd see someone creating a fork with different branding and being widely successful. Oh, wait. It has been tried already! [0]

There is a bunch of folks who forked Gimp because they find the name offensive. Since they still have to refer to it they use euphemisms (such a "upstream") or call it "GNU Imp".

Glimps is a good one. It has pressure sensitivity support for drawing tablets. If you want something closer to Illustrator, Inkscape is your best shot.

They're named by committee. No committee would have come up with "GIMP" (also forked as "Glimpse").

I've been enjoying the Glimpse fork a lot more these days.

(cc u/krapht) check out glimpse! it’s a fork of GIMP that’s a bit more modern. also an nx version coming soon which will be geared toward beginners

I used to use PhotoShop heavily and still have a lot of the UI muscle-memorized. I switched to GIMP + https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP and found it mostly fits my needs for basic image editing.

There's also photoGimp:

But it's interesting if we can get FOSS Gui toolkits that allow for different approaches to menu/toolbar/discovery where the user can easily adjust and select how things should work - like readline Emacs/vi selection on steroids for Gui.

There is this project that might help you:

I doubt it, code needs to be maintained , even if you will get stuck on old libraries you could miss out on features and improvement, of course if the changes are small and it's more like a patchset (something like photogimp) , that might be more feasible.

I don't like gimp at all, but you can still try PhotoGimp.

did you try PhotoGIMP?
